The Rebirth of the Fifth Lady

Chapter 241 Suicide
Not long after, the doctor was invited into Prince Heng's mansion again.

In Yinqi's study room, the butler Yan usually made a gesture of invitation to the doctor after saying a word, and the doctor entered the study room politely, and when he saw Yinqi sitting in the main seat, he hurriedly bowed to salute Yinqi.

Yin Qi waved his hand, and after a moment of silence, he asked the imperial physician, "Does the imperial physician still remember what kind of poison that Ge Ge in this palace is?"

After hearing this, the doctor was a little distressed. He really couldn’t say what kind of poison he was suffering from, but the pulse showed some signs of poisoning. After pondering for a while, the doctor decided to tell the truth: "If you go back to the prince, the old man is ignorant, and you can only find out through the pulse. It's a sign of poisoning, but I don't know what kind of poison is in it."

Yinqi saw that he didn't look like he was telling a lie, so he took out the oleander found from the corner of the backyard of the east wing and handed it to the doctor.

The doctor looked at the dry leaves and was silent for a long time, frowned, and finally replied after a while: "This seems to be the leaves of phlox, which is poisonous. If a pregnant woman touches it, it will probably cause vomiting, abdominal pain, Diarrhea and other adverse symptoms may endanger the lives of pregnant women and fetuses in severe cases, so could Ge Ge in the prince's mansion be poisoned by the oleander?"

Both Yin Qi and Yan Butler were shocked after hearing this, Yin Qi was silent for a while, then Yin Qi asked Yan Butler to send the doctor out, and gave him some reward money.

After seeing off the doctor, Yinqi sighed, his eyes were fixed on those oleander leaves, it was really sinister.

Yinqi sighed helplessly, he was silent for a while, and decided to interrogate Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiaohui again.

As soon as the door of the room where Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiaohui were imprisoned was opened, Zhang Jiazhuyue vaguely noticed that there was something wrong with the expression on Yinqi's face, and she lowered her head slightly.

"How long are you going to hide it?"

As soon as Yin Qi took a seat in the room, he asked directly.

Xiaohui immediately raised her head, her eyes flickered, her lips trembled, "My lord, my slaves have framed Tong Gege!"

After Xiaohui finished speaking, she fell to her knees with a plop, and then continued what she said just now: "Your servant dare not deceive the prince!"

"Really? You dare not deceive the king? Then why did you hide the oleander leaves in the corner of the backyard of the east wing?"

While Yinqi asked back, he glanced at Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiaohui.

Xiaohui was trembling with fright, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails were embedded in her flesh, and she gave Zhang Jiazhuyue a resentful look.

"It was her, it must have been framed by her. I didn't hide this thing. How could she see where I hid things when she was working in Dongnuange? She clearly set it up." Xiaohui pointed at Zhang Jiazhuyue's finger angrily. All trembling.

Zhang Jiazhuyue was very calm, she looked at Xiaohui indifferently, and said in a calm tone: "I don't know what you are talking about, sister Xiaohui, if you have evidence, please present it. Besides, I will tell you Tong Gege has no grievances or enmity, what did I do to her, but you are probably abused by Tong Gege a lot on weekdays, and you must resent her in your heart. That's why you want to frame her, right? "

After Zhang Jiazhuyue finished speaking, she looked at Yinqi again, "My lord, this servant knows that Tong Gege has a tricky personality. When Tong Gege lived in Dongnuange in the past, the servant often heard Tong Gege swearing at the slave, so the slave guessed that sister Xiaohui would do it regularly." He deliberately murdered Tong Gege because he wanted to vent his anger."

"You bitch, you talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Xiaohui was so angry at Zhang Jiazhuyue's words that she couldn't control her hands, and before she finished speaking, both hands pinched Zhang Jiazhuyue's neck.

Yin Qi shouted immediately: "Pull them apart!"

The guard standing at the door rushed into the room and pulled the two people who were wrestling apart.

When Wanyue was in the Xinuang Pavilion, she was still a little worried when she thought of Zhang Jiazhuyue's performance in the East Wing. Seeing her frowning, Madam Li couldn't help reminding her carefully: "Miss, I looked at the two men in the East Wing today. Girls are not easy."

Wanyue hummed, but she didn't dare to say that she had seen Zhang Jiazhuyue in her previous life. After a little hesitation, she still looked at Nanny Li and whispered something to her.

"Nurse, I always feel that this Zhang Jiazhuyue is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Go outside and find some spies to investigate her for me. Everyone in her family must investigate carefully, and no one is missing."

Nanny Li rarely saw the serious expression on Wanyue's face, and knew that she was worried about Zhang Jiazhuyue, so she replied: "Okay, this old slave will ask someone to investigate carefully."

When Nanny Li was about to leave the front yard, she met Steward Yan at the gate of the house. Nanny Li looked at Steward Yan running out of breath, and couldn't help but ask, "Where is Steward Yan going?"

Housekeeper Yan smiled embarrassingly, and exchanged glances with Nanny Li. Seeing that she seemed to be leaving the house, she replied naturally: "Nurse Li is really smart, you can see that. Li Mommy, are you going out of the house to do some business?"

Nanny Li nodded, and replied calmly: "Exactly."

"What a coincidence."

The two left Prince Heng's mansion together like this, and went to different places with their master's orders.

Less than an hour after Yinqi returned to the study, the guards guarding Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiaohui reported to Yinqi with a worried face: "My lord is not well, that maid named Xiaohui committed suicide in the room!"

These words made Yinqi so angry that he wanted to get angry on the spot, but he didn't get angry in front of the guards, he just clenched his fists and glanced at the guards who came to report.

After a while, Yin Qi frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"

He had only returned to the study for less than an hour when this happened, and he ordered Yan Butler to check the family backgrounds of the two maids, Xiaohui and Zhang Jiazhuyue, and as a result, Xiaohui committed suicide.

The guard gritted his teeth, worried that he would not be able to take care of him well, and some did not dare to look Yin Qi in the eyes. The guard cupped his hands again in panic and replied: "If you want to return to the prince, the slave and the guard brother will open the door as soon as they hear the shouts from the two in the room." We broke into the room, and saw Miss Zhuyue's neck being pinched by Miss Xiaohui, and before we came back to our senses, Miss Xiaohui fell to the side, with blood still oozing from her mouth."

When the guard thought of the scene he saw when he entered the door, he felt lingering fear for a moment. This woman was even crueler than a man sometimes.

Hearing what the guard reported, Yinqi was so angry that he raised his hand to support his forehead, and after a long time of contemplation, he replied to the guard: "You go to the accountant to pay some money, and bury her properly. Go and inform her family personally."

The guard was a little puzzled: "Then, does she need to tell her family the truth about her murdering her master and committing suicide?"

The guard's question was very bewildering, facing the guard's panicked eyes, Yin Qi had no choice but to shake his head: "Tell me the truth!"
